1. postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz != postgresql-7.0.3-2.src.rpm

   PostgreSQL Bugs List <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> — 2001-04-12T20:19:06Z

   Kevin Cole (kjcole@gri.gallaudet.edu) reports a bug with a severity of 2
   The lower the number the more severe it is.
   
   Short Description
   postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz != postgresql-7.0.3-2.src.rpm
   
   Long Description
   I'm trying to use D'Arcy J.M. Cain's python interface to PostgreSQL.
   He told me that the file that I'm using "pgsqldb.py" isn't his (in
   spite of the fact his name is on it). Instead, he says that I should
   have something called "pgdb.py" and that I should rebuild all of
   PostGreSQL from your sources.  I downloaded the source RPM and
   rebuilt it.  I ended up with exactly the same thing I had before.
   So, if Mr. Cain is correct, then you have a mismatch between what's
   in postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz and what's in postgresql-7.0.3-2.src.rpm.
   (I *REALLY* would prefer to stick with RPM rather than compile from
   tarballs, cuz I like taking full advantage of RPM's database.)

   The postgresql-7.0.3-2.src.rpm contains the exact same tarball as is
   distributed as postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz.  HOWEVER, the python build
   process for the RPM is quite different from that of the python
   makefile.  Thomas Lockhart did it -- and I haven't changed it much.
   
   D'Arcy, can you take a look at what the RPM does and tell me how far off
   the mark I am, as I am not a Python user?  If you want the exact
   incantationsI'm using to build the client, I can provide that
   information.
   
   But, the source code is the same.
